SR2 DLC Pack #2: Customizable Ronin Jacket

One of my favorite parts of Saints Row 2 was the in-depth character customization. It's one of the reasons I chose it over GTA4 [note: pasty Russians are pasty]. There was one very special piece of virtual clothing missing which would furth...

 
 
 

FUEL Should Look Like This, Sound Custom

I could've sworn that upcoming post-apocalyptic racing extravaganza FUEL featured weapon-laden vehicles. This important tidbit remains unconfirmed, even as I scour the intertubes in search of some hint of its existence. Without guns, it's j...

 
 
 
 

Xmas Day Cat-astrophe

My emotionally high-maintenance cat decided the best way to wish me a Merry Christmas was to drop two of my DVD/video game-heavy aluminum shelves on my ankles as I slept. The victims - three full shelves of DVD's, two full shelves of video ...

About Moi:

The funkily-spelled term 'ikiryou', per Wiki, 'refers to a spirit that leaves the body of a living person and subsequently haunts other people or places, sometimes across great distances'. Now replace the word "haunts" with "annoys". I like more game types than I can think to post here, which makes for an awful backlog of epic proportions. The picture below is a poorly 'shopped representation of me holding my backlog list.



I've been gaming since Defender was only available in an arcade. The first video game I can remember playing (non-arcade) was a Defender clone on some sort of godawful Tandy computer. It could've been a Trash-80, I'm unsure since it was middle school. Then my parental units bought me several LED/LCD-based handheld/tabletop games (Pac-Man and Zaxxon) which were totally not actual video games.

Around the same time I discovered goth/heavy metal/thrash/new wave music, which I thought my parents considered a loud tool of Satan(!). So I naturally consumed it like tasty unrefined Red Lyrium and turned into a frothy-mouthed red demon or something.

I am currently demoniacally possessed by an Xbox, PS2, PS3, Xbox360, a PSP(slim, CFW 6.61), a pearl-white DS Slim, a Vita, and the New 3DS XL...and an ungodly backlog which I've *totally never mentioned before* in this profile.
